Saturday's Sound Off

This is in reference to the story about the Perkiomen Valley School District. Business Administrator Jim Weaver offered a wish list. I have a wish list too. It looks like you have a mansion for a school there and I’m wishing you’d stop going in my wallet and taking money out of my retirement. I guess you’re taken care of. Work with what you’ve got. You can have all the wishes you want but stop going in people’s pockets. Cut back.

This is to the Upper Pottsgrove individual who said about patched roads and to pick your poison. These back roads are so patched up and the trucks and cars go at least 50 miles or more an hour. So I guess once their cars and trucks start falling apart maybe something will be done if it’s the right individual, but then again maybe they can afford to buy a new car or truck every year.

I guess some people can’t tell the difference between men and women. Jesus had 12 Apostles who were all men. I do not think a woman should become a priest. Women should be nuns. A woman should not be president or play in pro sports.

Stink bugs drop down a few inches before taking flight. I slide a wide-mouth two pint jar with about an inch of water up into them. They drop into the water and they drown overnight, then into the toilet. Caught hundreds this way.

OLD COAL CRACKER

I am in my late 70s and have always had a membership with the West End Ambulance Service. I could always depend on them and they were professional. Now what happens? Phoenixville Borough, what is wrong with you? We need West End.

A PHOENIXVILLE RESIDENT

Great job Don Seeley, you write from your heart. We will all miss you. Bye bye.

Before I worry about the small percent of my taxes that support the Welfare program, I worry about the larger percent of my taxes going to pay the wages of the Republican Congress who in case you haven’t noticed is ready to throw the country under the bus because we the people did not vote for the other guy. So get your noses out of other people’s shopping carts and look at the really big picture.

If you do not speak Spanish, now is the time to learn. The Republicans and Democrats want to legalize immigration. The hold up is will they do it legally as the law is stated. The Democrats oppose the law. The politicians say the people want immigration. What the politicians won’t do for votes. Someday the American people will wake up and Spanish will be the language of the land.

Lower Pottsgrove needs to stop paying excess money to the schools and repave our roads. We have dirty holes filled with patches everywhere.

POTHOLED RESIDENT

Thank you to the honest person who returned my wallet at the Redner’s Market in Boyertown. God bless you.

With both parties falling all over each other trying to come up with a bill to legalize and give a path to citizenship to those here illegally, they estimate that there’s a hundred million, how many of those actually want the citizenship or do they just want the free handouts? How many of them have been here 20 years and still don’t speak English? Is that an indication that they want citizenship? Becoming a citizen means you have to speak English.

This is a sweet shout out to Trevo. A fellow customer in the Dollar Store the other day he volunteered to get down boxes from the high shelves for me and I really appreciated it. He had a wonderful personality and attitude and he just made my day. So thank you Trevor for that random act of kindness. I hope to pay it forward.

Parents, please watch where your daughter’s are. When they say they’re going somewhere, make sure they’re really there even it takes making a phone call to a parent. I’ve heard such bad and disturbing news that goes on with these young girls at parties. They’re so easily swayed and talked into things. They’re our future parents so we really have to look after our girls.

CONCERNED PARENT

Our president has nominated Thomas Perez to be the next secretary of labor. It is Mr. Perez who turned a blind eye to new Black Panther voter intimidation in Philadelphia and has compelled banks to make home loans on the basis of skin color rather than need. We don’t need public officials who push racist agendas.

I was following a Verizon 100 percent fiber optics van. If it’s 100 percent fiber optics to your house and once it gets to your house you have regular old cable, is it still 100 percent fiber optics? They don’t tell you that.
